I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paysafe in Oct 2023
Interview
First I got phone screening. The HR called when I couldn't speak, we agreed to talk on different time the next day, but instead they called two or three days later again in the same not comfortable for me time.
After that I received test with coding tasks, which was fine, except the time for the test was not enough in my opinion.
Third part of the process was 2 h interview with HR and four developers. The questions were standard for the position, but the interviewers were expecting me to answer precisely like it is "in the books" I guess, because they corrected my responses most of the times (same thing I was saying, but with different words). There was also an easy live coding task.

Question 1
Tell me pros/cons of microservices vs monolith architecture.
Short, vague, a bit all over the place. The interviewer was very stubborn about a particular question and didn’t want to move on even after I gave my answer. Felt a bit awkward even as I think I gave a satisfactory answer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Paysafe (Sofia, ) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interviewers were genuinely attentive and thorough, taking the time to delve deeply into my responses. They were interested not only in my skills and experiences but also in my thought processes and problem-solving abilities. This approach made me feel valued and respected, as they were clearly interested in understanding who I am as a person and how I approach challenges.
Overall, the interview was a positive experience that left me feeling confident and excited about the possibility of joining the team.
